A report suggests London could be on course to become something of a “Manhattan-on-Thames” as almost 600 more skyscrapers are planned to cram into gaps of the capital’s crowded historic skyline.
The 10th annual tall buildings report from think-tank New London Architecture finds there are 583 tall buildings of more than 20 storeys that authors describe as “queuing up in the pipeline”.
Plus, Gordon Ramsay’s plans to become the BT Tower’s successor as London’s highest restaurant and Savile Row tailors are unhappy at Westminster Council's pushback over redevelopment of a former police station.
